I just hate the way Black people talk i mean it drives me nuts. Most of them talk so loud you can't even hear yourself think. In the train i go into, a group of kids, talk as if they're miles away when they're really a seat away. I look around and the other people are acting normally doing their own thing. I thought, is it just me?
Also, I'm not sure if it's just me but when i get into an elevator with a group of African Americans, somehow my race always came into the conversation. I wanted to kill them right then and there, i was so enraged. My race? What does that have to do with anything? I mean i get it if they talk about my clothes or hair but my race? So f**king rude. I confronted them about it but somehow they made me the made guy. Just before the elevator closed, they'd say i'm rude and then my race came into the picture again. I have to live like this everyday. Because they're in my apartment.
I feel like killing them all. Is this normal? I get it if you're really angry, but i keep getting angrier the more i think about it.

Anyway, next time you here black people talking like imbeciles, beat the shit out of them, and give them a hit for me too.
You are speaking of a specific type of PERSON (not necessarily Black) except your insecurity makes you speak like all those types are found exclusively within the Black diaspora. What I'd ask you to do is get over your self-shame at being Black and stop apologizing for what you think is bad in your race. I never met any Whites in the UK who wanted to apologize to me for serial killers and paedophiles who are White. Bad people are nothing to do with people who chose to live with integrity. It is you who encourages racism and people feeling ashamed of who they are. What a racist tries to do is take any bad stereotype and fraudulently assign it as a dominant trait of the greater percent of any race who don't act/speak a certain way.
Are you in the USA? Don't think every Black person worldwide sounds American, I can also bet there are Whites who sound just like those you hold responsible for poor vocabulary.
Being raised in the Bronx is not the requisite for poor grammar. I meet people from everywhere with poor grammar.
And while you are at it - I'll tell you right now, I'll hire a woman named Julie - black or white - before I EVER hire a propecia, deshawn, noshawn, keyshawn, poshawn, tayshawn etc. It actually sounds lazy and fat.
Enough of being crazy tacky with names and clothing. You can be yourself without looking like an un-educated clown.
My own nephew (half black) Is named Uriah Jr. (Dad's name is Aaron, no idea where they got the idea for Jr. ) And the other is Kurtis Elijah.
While I wouldn't deny them a job over their name, I would have a hard time taking them seriously unless they proved they were actually skilled. If they came in with no clothing,chewing and popping gum, nails as long as my head or with a ridiculous weave... I mean, that's just presentation. I don't care if you're black or white, if you dress like hookers you're gonna get treated like hookers. Same applies for men.
What they are is what racist America made them into. Yes, some Blacks succeed despite racist AmeriKKK, but it's far easier for even an average White person to make it in the USA.
I mean look at an inarticulate clown like you! You've such poor grammar yet you still feel you're an authority on the problems of the mega-problem the USA's right wing government created.
I mean what is;
"The overwhelming majority of these ghetto Blacks had rather remain in victim mode and listen to the likes of Al Sharpton"
The word you are looking for is WOULD not had, "had rather remain". This is a clear indication you've not even a basic educational background.
This isn't even a sentence, your grammar is atrocious. But the USA have created a world in which people with poor grammar skills still feel they can lord it over a people who have proven many amongst them are superior in intellect to ingrates like you.
What's even worse is that this gangster culture is starting to spread outside of African Americans to pretty much everybody. I know white college kids who are all into the gangster culture and it's annoying as hell.
Anyway, my two cents on the situation.
Stop being haters and talking about how you HATE a race and concentrate on being better yourself and on creating something that will divert attention away from the negative and make positive the "COOL" thing to do. Listening to people talk about they want to kill somebody because of the way they act...that person needs counseling before they become a killer. Is that better than being ignorant, or is that just as and more ignorant?
Do you know that I work is a metropolitan city where all races live among each other? If you didn't, I indeed do.
I arrest people almost on a daily basis and do you know who I tend to arrest the most? Black people.
I could take the easy route and start off this by saying " I have a lot of black friends." I do have a lot of black friends, but the people who seem to trouble me aren't friends of mine. In fact they seem to be almost nightmarish idiots who travel in packs, causing discomfort to anyone who isn't as they are.
Let's be cheap...
Is it the music that makes young blacks to act the fool?
Is it a financially dead environment that makes this happen?
Is it the prevalence of drugs in the communities?
Okay... fuck all of you who said yes to any of the above questions. Here's why...
1. My mother: A prostitute
2. My Father: A heroin addict
3. I was homeless at 13 years old.
4. I was a drug addict as a youth.
5. I was a prostitute (to survive only)
Today I am considered to be a well balanced person. An attribute to the community.
I used to talk like a street person until I realized that the real heroes didn't. I don't even know what point I'm trying to make...
all I know is that a lot of black folks need to wake the fuck up and stop being so damn confrontational.
The rest of us are getting tired... and honestly, all of your rap music and weapons aren't going to help because black, white, chinese, Indian... it doesn't matter...
all we need is to get along and act like nice guys. Ya dig?
It's time blacks stopped with the racism, stopped blaming it on everyone else. Pull yourself up. If you are a parent make sure YOU are educating your kids. Make sure Shanaynay is in a two-parent home. TEACH them to speak. TEACH them to behave. TEACH them respect. It's not my dime that should be going into your pocket when it gets pissd away.
i dont talk like them so i get how you feel man . and yes it is normal they piss alot of people off that way .
ps you may want to keep that a secret however because they have a very short temper and things can get ugly .
but what i don't get is why my race is so loud and annoying. I actually feel like standing up and telling them to shut the f*ck up. Its Annoying and people like peace and quiet on the train/bus/car/others.
Horrible, horrible, most sucky place in the US to live. I feel for you, and hope you get an opportunity to move ASAP. (Go to Houston...).
Also dont ever advocate violence against your own race because of the way someone sounds (ignorance comes in all colors). Thats why other nationalities want to annihilate blacks because we still hate ourselves so much that we talk down on ourselves. People treat us like we allow them to treat us. If we dont love us and positively advocate change within ourselves, no one will recognize that some of us are actually different.
You may argue some or all of this is stereotyping. But what makes stereotyping so hard to swallow? Because there is usually a great deal of truth in the statement.
againive meet loud people from every race
get over yourself
Given that your theory holds people to become racist from experience, I guess minorities are predestined to be racist because because of the inevitable experience of prejudice of MINORITIES.
"whites dont use proper english too" should be
"Whites don't use proper English either". Moron.
its not that they don't know how to speak english you moron.
its called slang.
something you and all your other little crackers try to play off to seem cool.
and you know what?
i am an african-american teen.
and damn proud of it!
i can speak english very well and earn straight A's.
what is your G.P.A ? ... jackass
P.S. There are loud people of every culture, it's more of a personality thing than an ethnic trace.
I moved here after selling a condo a few months after a white absentee landlord turned a block of neighboring condos into Section 8 welfare housing. The place became a crime ridden black ghetto in less than a month, so I sold the place for thousands of dollars less the sale price of identical condos in primarily white areas. But the black plague followed me here in the form of loud talking, stereo blasting, race baiting lowlifes.
Now,I lived in predominatly black area for 11 years. I was lucky in that I only got beaten up, had my car stolen and home burglarized once in three separate incidents.
I am not going to run out of my home again. Instead I am going to buy a shotgun and take up martial arts. I am 68-years-old and beyond caring what people think. In fact, what anyone thinks of me is none of my businees. I leave people alone as long as I am left alone.
As for the noise upstairs, the apartment manager broke the party up. A temporary fix. I intend to make it permanent.
Definition of a liberal: someone who loves humanity but hates the neighbors. Definition of a conservative: a former liberal who's been mugged.
I am a minority (not black) but I will try to be objective about this. It's okay to dislike how some people talk. There is nothing wrong with this. And I think any national group, race, tribe, or tongue would be pissed about somebody disrespecting them. This is very human.
About the killing: Not a good idea. It will accomplish nothing beyond getting you into a lot of trouble. I know you were probably saying this as a hyperbole (example: "I am going to KILL my little brother because he at all of the cookies!") but hate and violence are not good. Don't turn to "the dark side".
Talk About It With Others Like You're Doing Now (Blow Off Some Steam. Make A Black Friend. Not One Who Is Like The People You Dislike But One Who Appreciates The Same Values As You Do. Believe It Or Not, It Will Help! :)
hoserdomechild
Learn to love your neighbor regardless (that's a commandment.)
Think you don't HAVE TO? Don't... and see where you end up. Hmmmmm. It's getting hot in here. lol
The lady with the my music comment is just, bored and is looking for attention so don't bite.
A LOT of black people annoy the fuck outta me
BUT on the other hand A LOT of white people annoy the fuck outta me..
ALL IN ALL anyone who is loud annoys the fuck outta me lol
I concur.
But I honestly believe this "Negroid" behavior is manifest more so in the lower socio-economic groups.
I know some fine upstanding darkies who speak proper English, who wear their pants around their waists not their lower thighs, who never use the term "nigga" and who are actually worlds smarter than I could ever hope to be.
I find that poor whites are equally annoying and for much the same reasons as you stated, although they're not quite so hung up on the whole race thing.
Regardless, you have every right to feel as you do and I don't think you're a bad person for expressing your beliefs in this regard.
You feel this way through your own personal observations and experience. There are different patterns of behavior when considering different races, and the factors that contribute to the African American race anger you. I think it's interesting though to think of Asians and how usually quiet and mild mannered they are. I wonder if they feel the same way about you as you do about African Americans?
Anyway. Purely playing on stereotypes, but it is interesting to think about how people consider other races.
btw: the last line was a joke? if it got you hot and worked up, you should take a porn break.
in order for them to enjoy their company.
On another note, anybody talking about hating somebody because they are different or wanting to kill them because they are different or have annoyed them....need to see shrink immediately. I'm serious.
You must also not love God. The African American's ancestors suffered and yes, some of their great grand parents today were slaves. They were forced to work without pay putting them at a disadvantage making them unable to leave an inheritances for their kids...this trickled down to today. Go back to Africa? America was stolen from the Indians ... so you go back to where you came from (the caves of Europe. Even Africa has been infiltrated with whites who have taken over the land, stolen the diamonds an oppressed the people with Apartheid and now famine. The Jewish people are still upset about the Holocaust. When one race tries to destroy another committing genocide, they are a bunch of murderers. You need to learn how to love God, then you will know how to love His people. If you don't LOVE ONE ANOTHER heaven is NOT your destination. Ask God to change your hateful heart.
yall you all ect .
They all sound kind of ignorant when they talk that way If you ask why white people talk the way they do... it's because it's proper English
I'm Black Caribbean and I HATE AFRICAN AMERICANS WITH A PASSION AND SO DOES MY FAMILY!
MY FAMILY THINKS BLACK AMERICANS ARE THE MOST DISGUSTING UNEDUCATED LOUD PEOPLE!
~Treat Others As You Would Have Them Treat You~
Based on what another poster here said who also stated that he is black and 'dont talk like them' "..you may want to keep that a secret however(your personal anger) because they have a very short temper and things can get ugly . " WE as a community people wouldn't be able to police ourselves? Should we forget the "It takes a village" ideology?
I go to the gym and in the Sauna some of the men think its OK to curse when they talk to their boyz, but I didn't go there to have that language in my head so I tell them ladies are present and can they not talk like that and they stop. You'd be surprise what a little intelligence and assertiveness can do.
Conduct yourselves like humans. Try paying taxes.
He's giving very definitive reasoning and occurrences of why he feels how he feels.
The people at his apartment would probably anger the hell out of me as well.
Then the other people reminded him of the people at his apartment.
"Guilty by association." Which in this case was their actions.
And yeah, it is normal. I've met cool blacks, but the pattern seems to be a mix of the following; loud, unhealthy, rude, angry, unrefined, and spoiled. The occurrance of each attribute simply is more frequent. I'm making no apologies for my experience - and I'm not prejudiced. I am open to everyone and treat them basically the same (unless they look dangerous).
In my opinion black people need to break out of their bubble of self-loathing and infantile hedonism and see THEMSELVES as human beings.
My coworker is black, he is a graphic designer, and he is totally cool.
It's the poor or lower-class blacks that follow the pattern of being generally disgusting in behavior, thinking, expression, and appearance. There are poor people all over the world that run circles around them in terms of gentleness. Go to Cuzco, Peru; everyone is poor, and everyone is incredibly nice and humble, and no one is white.
We live in a very polarized society.
Everything is about race or "group" thinking. I'm getting tired of it. Everything is about this minority or that one or the handicapped or gays...I think under it all we all want the same things: Decent job, nice relationships and general happiness, those types of basic things.
BTW, anybody who brings up race for no reason in conversation like you mentioned is a racist. Black or white. Period.
White people are so loud in my neighborhood, usually on weeknights when they're doing their sports-bar-hopping in t-shirts in 30 degree weather, screaming their bloody heads off, thinking they are so unique and smart and funny and entertaining, and just knowing that in a few short years they're going to procreate with blond people who look exactly like them, and raise their blond/honey-brown-haired children to be the same spoiled, entitled little bitches, screaming in restaurants, department stores, the bus, the train, everywhere I go, well.
I think that all people are just equally obnoxious.
However, white guys with baseball caps will have conversations across the street to each other, if they are educated, will start lecturing each other as if only the one talking was born with a brain. Young white guys in L.A. will use the word "dude" every other word. I'm sure there are tons of things that irritate black people about the way white people talk and behave.
we all get on each others nerves all the races theres something everyone hates from the other race its not going to change lets just leave it at that
EVERYONE is racist, whether they realize it or not.
"I AM BLACKER THAN BLACK LOOOOK AT HOW BLACK I AM! I SEPARATE MYSELF FROM THE REST OF AMERICA BECAUSE I AM SOOOOO BLACK."
For god sakes just get an education, hold a stable job, and make an overall positive impact on society. Provided those things occur you would most likely stop feeling as if your culture is being "oppressed" anymore. Instead you would feel empowered; lessing that trying to hard to be something in particular urge.
some black people might think its impossible
but im going in to 11th grade with a perfect 4.0
if i keep this up i will be able to go to harvard with a full scholarship
its not impossible and everyone of every race can do it
i have to say no race is better than the other
everyone is the same yet different.
and wether you like it or not , your going to have to deal with it
However, yes, I am annoyed why some black people feel its necessary to yell across the room when you are talking to someone a foot away from you.
I like some people like to partake in smoking the occasional joint and sometimes partake when her relatives are in town, these folks make me look like i am a lightweight. I understand smoking once in a while or on certain occasions but when you smoke day in and day out you have a tendency to lose touch with reality. I have never seen someone get so angry when they didn't have their fix of "chronic" as they put it. The other thing that is astonishing to me is when I don't smoke with them they make it seem like I called them the N word or something and can't understand that some people have to be mentally alert once in a while. I mean who else is going to talk to the police when we get pulled over on the way to get munchies.
There's a big difference between judging someone on their behaviour and judgeing someone on their race. I fuckin hate the politically correct shit that has been going around here that makes it impossible to judge someone on their behaviour without making it a racial issue.
I don't give a shit about race. Just like the OP wants to be able to mind his own bussiness in his apartment building without getting shit for...being white, i want to be able to walk over the street and use public transportation without getting shit from ignorant turk muslims
this muslim culture here kind of mixes your ghetto gangstas with mafiosi style and bad haircuts
Sorry, but you are normal!
because i don't have a black culture but i do like to dance and listen to some hip hop.
p.s dont you think saying that everyone with black culture should die is a little to far. what if someone said that everyone with a white or asian culture should die. i think everyones culture is beautiful in there own way, yet everyones culture has a lot of flaws in there own way.
thats a little far, dont you think
and as to flikr... welcome to the 21st century. im guessing you live in alabama or mississppi or something, because the civilized states have moved on (STUPID IGNORANT PEOPLE HATE). and its not hard to guess that your closet is full of white sheets and hoods. its people like you that make this world such a horrible place to live in.
I hope you don't call yourself a Christian.
But Honestly whites are SO more fuckin obnoxious...Mainly you men or shall I say wit yall white kids (BOYS) Like at least they mature and don't try using gay pick up lines, Don't say they gonna kill whites cause yall boys are annoying They kno how to treat a gurl and talk to her<3 And for meh I love da way they talk/look and act Sorry to say but so does a lot of these other white gurlz dat probably why yall hating on dem cuz they taking all your gurlz..Pshh w/e
Peace<3
Lol im mixed, and i love and understand both races. But apparently im normal for most asians n whites but too quiet for some blacks. Its ok though i still enjoy both, the loud when im down and i need to ventilate, and the quiet when i need peace.
but as far as the issue goes, i hate anyone who is loud and obnoxious and acts like race is a reason to hate someone. i hate when people pull the race card.
They just had a segment on the news about how high the unemployment rate is now and they showed this nicely dressed African American at a career fair and all he kept saying was how he couldn't understand why he wasn't getting hired. I mean come on, can't someone fill this guy in that visible tats on the hands and both sides of your neck are not conducive to getting a good job. That and long unkempt beards are not the best look for employers. I would hope that one of the newscasters would clue this clueless fuck in, because clearly his peers are not cognitive enough to understand.
First off, its perfectly normal that you feel this way. Although you can't sit here and state that African Americans are the ONLY ones that act like this; not true.
Probably the majority of African Americans do act like this because of where you live, I can't honestly say.
Also, you can't hate JUST because of the way we talk. Lol. Have you ever thought majority of African Americans do not speak proper English is because we were probably not corrected right. Oh, if a person tries to correct them, then you're racist comment is BEYOND ignorant? Who does that?
Another thing, when you say a group of kids on a train/bus did you mean a group of black/Latino/Arabians etc etc kids or just kids in generally? Mostly all of the kids go around doing that not just in trains or buses.
Although, I wish my daughter would go and act a fool! (she's nine by the way)
People talking about other races are so petty, don't let the little things get to you! Oh and if it bothers you so much just move to another apartment building, I'm sure the admin. office would understand.
I'm African American by the way!
Hoped this helped a little!

When someone white flings their racism in my face that person is racist, not all white people!! Seriously??
Those people in the elevator are stupid. I am black and I don't talk loud. And it's not all black people..ignorant!
This is the reason why it is so hard to get out of a sterotype..no matter how i dress, talk, what music i listen to: FYI I dress like a scene kid/emo/punk. I listen to EVERYTHING! To Marylin Manson to the Jonas Brothers. My Black friends make fun of the way I talk..They think i try to talk like a white girl and i'm not! I grew up in California OC! sue me for having a preppy tone.
It's like i can't win. In the black community i'm acting white, in your community i'll always be the sterotype..it SUCKS!!
Not ALL black people talk the same and act "ghetto".
I'm sick of people trying to clump all black people into one big stereotypical pile of shit.
Keep your ignorance tucked away for us will ya?
I have read other comments that have addressed the African American community of being easily influenced and I do believe that is true to some extent (not to a great extent either). Also, when one group has a larger microscope on them it easy to attribute a small percentage of attitudes to a whole "community".
I do have a "fight" in me however. I have a fight to be able to have someone look past the color of my skin before they associate me with a certain personality. Maybe if people, such as the person who wrote this post, would stop associating races with actions committed by individuals there would be much less fighting in the world. And the goes for everyone.
PS: Maybe caludus85 you were at a right turn on red, thats why the guy was irritated. And why would you assume he had a weapon???? If your mother, father, uncle, sister, cousin....were pissed off at you would you assume they had a gun on them???
At work, I've asked the black people to turn the TV down when they're watching whatever "loud and angry women bitch about each other and their lives" show they're watching... if they even acknowledge me, it's with that hateful stare, and the volume goes back up the second I turn my back. Really? It's quieter OUTSIDE, and I work at a fucking AIRPORT. (You think I'm kidding, I'm not).
TL;DR:
Please just shut the hell up and don't make it a race thing. Loud and rude is loud and rude.
Whenever you see a black person and a white person go to a store or restaurant, the white person spends money, the black will not, or they buy something cheap and ask for free stuff, then complain about the product or food. I see this over and over, so no one needs to pretend it is otherwise here. Waiters/waitresses much cringe when a group of young blacks come to their restaurant. You may say this is racist, I just base this on years of observing.
A long time ago my father was riding home from work in his bicycle at La Academia Mechanica de Cuba. When he was assaulted by four unidentified black delinquents. They had the intent of stealing his bicycle (yeah, men are willing to kill for a bicycle in Cuba.) He saw himself threatened when they pulled out a knife and some baseball bats. Later into the night, my father appears at our front door, covered in blood, much of it not his own, and holding a bloody knife in one hand and hauling his bicycle with the other. He had killed two of the four delinquents and the rest ran away scared. That image of my father almost being killed has stayed with me throughout the years and is now somewhere in the corners of my subconscious and has manifested itself as pure hate and prejudice towards the race. I still am mature enough to understand that not a single Joe is the same, but deep in my heart, I too feel the urge to kill some of them....
You can hate us all you want and post whatever cowardly, nasty little comments you want to about other people and how superior whites are. Because guess what?! Our numbers are Growing and yours are SHRINKING! So why don't you all go nibble on those facts for a while! Even as you realize that the demise of your race is inevitable. It is INEVITABLE and it is happening right NOW! (^_^)

To the person who randomly fears being raped by a black man, that's cultural indoctrination. I have three brothers. They are straight. They're not thinking about raping you--they have things to do. That is a myth as old as slavery. White men rape, too, but I'll leave my personal experience out. Folks, every group is annoying in its own way. White and Asian women have a habit (in my hometown) of talking about lone black women in stores and then acting frightened if said black woman confronts them. Why are you talking about strangers? Can I now assume that all Asian and White women are rude? No, I can't. I can assert that some people suck and get on with my life. Oh, and the attempted oppression of black people continues. The dislike of certain ignorant black people does not invalidate true claims of racism. Also, the use of the word "amongst" is archaic, meaning, stop using it in present day, please. The necessary word is "among." There are other grammatical and mechanical errors, but pointing out such is not the point of my post.
Halloween Mast is a Halloween Mask
Im "Sleep" correct is Im asleep
I just "axed" my Mom correct is I just asked my Mom
Ambalance is supposed too be Ambulance
I could go on forever.....and those ethnic names! Dont their Mom and Dad know they will really have a hard time in school with names like DeAntonshantia lol
Ppl honestly the race does not matter it's the way the person acts that makes you hate them not the color of there skin I could care less about what color skin ppl have
Bravo. Really, I'm impressed.
Being the whitest black person is NOT a compliment. And the people who stereotype you in the first place, will not give a shit if you're not actually Black-American but you're 1/12 Cherokee, 1/2 Indian and born in goddamn China. They will only see black. Period.
I don't care what race you are. I don't care where you were born. I don't even care what your personal experiences with X group might have been.
Get over it. Seriously. Not everyone will fit into your neat little boxes. There will be some who fit a stereotype. There will be some that don't. If you don't like someone-- fine. Just don't carry it over to the next person.
Obnoxious people can't just be obnoxious people by their own nature. Oh no, that's too simple. It's because they are [insert demographic here].
Consider your surroundings -- Black people are most definitely different from region to region.
I voted No, but I didn't write back offensive language to the poster like some people. I'm not trying to be anything right now I just want to let you know what I was shocked about when I saw all these comments. Rather than the poster's opinion, it's about all the hurtful comments that are frustrating.
Well then... hmm... you probably hate how a good number of the human population talk. (Including anyone who is dark skinned)
First and foremost, don't generalize a whole population by the ridiculous concept of "race."
You could have said, "I hate the way uneducated people talk," or "I hate slang" because I assure you, it's not only "black" people that talk in that ridiculous manner.
Instead of wasting your time hating, do something productive. You know the people who speak in the jargon you dislike? They don't give a fuck.
People like that shouldn't have a page in the story of your life. It would be a waste. Focus on what's important... and it would be a nice thing to not post your rant for the world to see. You've offended plenty of people with that question, the same way Ghetto talk has offended you.
Congratulations on your use of the word diaspora in a sentence. However, I honestly feel like you were so desperate to use the word, in an effort to make yourself look more educated or intelligent, no doubt, that you didn't really think about the context of the conversation when you did. He wasn't talking about all the blacks around the world who have dispersed from the mother land. He was talking about a regional issue within the United States. His argument was absolutely and completely sound. In my honest opinion, he hit the nail on the head, so to speak. You were obviously angered by the blunt nature of his observation. While he was speaking out of observation, an observation that you made clear was based on a narrow and extremely limited world experience, you, on the other hand, were speaking out of negative emotion. He didn't suggest that the percentage of the world black demographic that this "ghetto" group represents. He only indicated that, within this group, a large percent retain this self defeating attitude, willingly.
As for your attack on his grammar and sentence structure, this is the saddest part of your reply. You are so desperate to discredit him in any way possible, that you completely sidestep matter at hand.
We are all worthwhile beings of consciousness, capable of much more than we realize. No matter what you have done you are worthy of your existence, and worthy of another chance. I do not claim to be better than anyone, I am not. The only thing that matters in life is how we treat one another, not status, reputation, wealth, or land. Love is what matters, we must love one another. Love is the key to the advancement of self and to that of our species as a whole. That being said, I do not claim to be some enlightened person. I am a man of only modest spiritual advancement. However, I do feel compelled to ask you what makes you think that the world is enlightened? That guy, and yourself, are far from elightened, which is my point. You are both mirrors for the world. What makes you think that he is separate from the "enlightened" world, as you suggest, or that you are separate from him?
As far as someone not hiring someone because of a name that's just absurd, prejudice, and stupid. I see some people will never grow up because I'm sure there are some white people with equally corny sounding names. Then again, it's not the name you hire. I thought a person's education, background, and experience is what made them qualified or not for a position. Not their name. A person's name is given to them at birth, so if your parents name you somthing you hate it's not your fault it just is what it is.
What people need to realize is that this world is based on diversity and individualism, so there are going to be different people from all different cultures whether you like it or not, so you may as well get on board with that or leave the damn planet.
Being rude ' and obnoxious is a universal condition.
Some people just don't give a damn if they offend others but let you do something they don't like and you will know about it real quick.
Some folks are not brought up properly and were not taught anything , so they get their behavior from t.v. and crappy music that has be designed to get their attention and make sales.
Frankly I am getting so tired of our dissatisfaction with one another as a race (human).
When will we get to the part where we just let go and let live?
Hey heres my saying that i recently made up! (2 mins ago)
Niggers be niggers!
ONE WORLD BITCHES!!!!!!!!
Also you must remember that regardless of race, creed or anything else 2 things 1) humans despite or history of civilization build up are stupid all of us. 2) tetris is the most wicked awesome video game ever created, period. (TC,IO)

all BLACK (AFRICAN AMERICAN) people , have their ways , yes that is true , But still that don't mean you have to disrespect us like that & look at us like we don't have anything , or no right to do anything or whatever . I am not loud but, yes I can be with my friends but Hey Imma teen , whaddya expect ?? I still do have my manners though . & some kids or people look at me & see where I live , & they just be in Awe & Shocked. So if a white person act like a black person , would you still want to HATE or DISRESPECT them ???? Because these white kids out here , they be tryna act like a Black person , believe that !
She/he has had a few bad experiences that have made her/him angry and frustrated. This is a human tendency. Also, she/he was brave enough to post this as a legitimate question, knowing full well that she/he would receive flack for it from people like you.
Now, I am Caucasian, and I know a large group of African American people that are just amazing, but there ARE members of every race who give said race a bad name. And I get TOTALLY annoyed when I try to go someplace and I can't even hear myself think because a group of African Americans are hootin' and hollerin'. It's not being racist, it's understanding the way you should act in public. It's rude to be loud and obnoxious, but God forbid that you say anything to them, because you will be pegged as a racist. It's human nature to find things aggravating, and it isn't this persons fault that loud people, no matter what the race, are freaking irritating. And whether it's racial profiling or not, it is a fact that many African Americans are like this.
Also, I have to agree that having to fight the urge to kill them is a bit unusual and maybe not the most healthy thing, but put yourself in the authors shoes. She/he has to deal with hazing everyday, because of were she/he lives. It isn't fair. The African American people who live in that same building are doing the same things that Caucasians did to them in the time of slavery. They are the ones being racist now! I'd be mad too, especially considering the fact that the author wasn't alive during the time that their ancestors (if their ancestors were even here then) were enslaved. It isn't like she/he has any fault in the matter just because she/he was born white.
Everyone just needs to get off this persons back. Every race has people like this, but there are some things that are just COMMON in certain races, and the things that the author hates about African Americans are all legitimate racial tendencies. So if you don't like how this person feels, then GET OVER IT. They have a right to their opinion.
